Delay in new cargo centre at Frankfurt Airport

The executive board of the Lufthansa Group has decided to delay the planned investment by Lufthansa Cargo in the new cargo centre (LCCneo) at Frankfurt Airport by at least two years.

Harry Hohmeister, a member of the executive board of the Deutsche Lufthansa and chairman of the supervisory board of Lufthansa Cargo said: “We can see that, after necessary enhancing measures with the existing infrastructure, Lufthansa Cargo can continue to work successfully for a few years…”

The construction of a cargo centre for Lufthansa Cargo will still be regarded as a sensible and profitable investment, he added. The implementation, however, is to be decided in two years at the earliest.
